About the new FUFA Women Super League Trophy
The trophy features a striking figurine of a woman in athletic achievement, symbolizing strength, elegance and the rising spirit of women’s football in Uganda.
The trophy stands at 455mm tall and is gold-coated, representing excellence and triumph.
At its heart is a striking figurine of a woman poised in athletic achievement, lifting a ball high above her head. Her posture exudes power and confidence, with her front leaning slightly outward and her back curving gently inward, reflecting both strength and poise. Her arms rise in a V-shape, holding the ball in a symbolic gesture of victory and ambition.
The trophy’s design elements symbolise victory, ambition, determination and raw talent, reflecting the spirit and brilliance of women in football.
